    It is not the case that If contradiction is understood broadly to include practical self-defeat, the ULF can be grounded in contradiction without reducing the CI to an analytic logical truth.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Broadening contradiction to include practical self-defeat risks equivocating between distinct normative concepts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If practical defeat grounds the ULF, we need independent criteria distinguishing rationally binding from merely foolish plans.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.This move may collapse the distinction between descriptive explanation of rational failure and prescriptive justification of duty.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Practical self-defeat is a genuine rational failure distinct from formal logical contradiction.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Grounding the CI in practical contradiction preserves its synthetic status while explaining its rational bindingness.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Kant's kingdom of ends invokes coherence of willing, not just logical consistency of propositions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
